In January 2017, an alliance of community organizations serving neighborhoods adjacent to the three-block Washington State Convention Center Addition came together to ensure that the $1.6 billion expansion - to be built on publicly owned land, by a public entity, and using public funding - provided a suite of public benefits commensurate with its size, scale and impact.

We called these community-identified projects the Community Package, and we're proud to announce a successful partnership with the WSCC to realize a shared vision to build a well-connected, accessible, people-centered city with opportunity and benefits for all.

This partnership demonstrates what is possible when developers and the community work together and represents over $80 million in investments for public open spaces, safe crossings for people walking and infrastructure for people biking, and homes affordable to working families.
